About Stackscale’s Private Cloud is a hybrid solution between the traditional environment, robust and secure, and Public Cloud services, functional, flexible and scalable. In combination with our oversized network, our state-of-the-art data centers in Europe and our 24/7 specialized technical support team, our private cloud environments offer great performance, availability and security. We can consolidate two full racks housing networking gear and servers in just two nodes using network storage, reducing power usage by up to 95%. Designing a private cloud environment meant to be run at Stackscale is an easy task, as there are by far less variables to play with. Important design parameters are RAM and persistent storage size. IOPS, bandwidth and CPU requirements are less critical, since these are prevented from becoming a bottleneck in most scenarios. Our bare-metal servers are fully configurable and offer a level of control that matches in-house solutions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Bandwidth is decent, uptime is good. If it weren't for their terrible service, I'd recommend them. Cons I've been with this company for 10 years but in the last few, since they were absorbed by another company, they don't take care of their customers. Terrible service.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Among its advantages are the possibility of 2 zones (data centers) in Madrid, synchronous storage solutions with RTO=0 and RPO=0, and allows bare-metal as well as private cloud Proxmox, vmware, etc. 24x7 support in English and Spanish with direct access to technicians. Cons They only have locations in Madrid and Amsterdam (Europe) at the moment.
